Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

The Foundation is creating a legacy for the communities by enhancing the work of the libraries. The current focus of the Foundation is Youth and Family Services, Community Engagement and Lifelong Learning.

The Foundation is raising awareness of the libraries and fundraising on behalf of the library system. Raising Awareness will allow more and more of the community to come and find out what the libraries have to offer and understand that it is all free. Fundraising will be focused on the strategic initiatives of the libraries at any given time.

The Foundation has a robust team of Board members and volunteers with a dedicated Executive Director that allows for the capacity to strive for these goals.

The Foundation has been able to succeed in recruiting board members to start this endeavor. The Foundation has also secured two grants over $50,000 to support the work of the libraries. In the FY 19-20 fiscal year, the Foundation launched with a event to share with the public that the Foundation is now the fundraising arm of the San Mateo County Libraries.
